I think it's interesting that the new vice lipsticks are cheaper than the revolutions were. (I'm not crazy right? $17 vs. $22)
I imagine a whole shitton of market research went into that, because I know my kneejerk reaction is oh...$22...ummm, hmmm, I better LOVE it. But $17 sounds much more palatable. I mean, it's just two revlons, right? It's a pretty solid price point - expensive enough to not feel cheap, not so expensive that it'll slow me down from hitting submit on a cart...
I really hope I get the UD lipstick samples too. I keep checking my mailbox each night all hopeful just to be let down.
I keep trying not to think about it because I'm bummed I haven't received any. I'm platinum and on my way to hitting it again this year. Ulta, give me some goodies!

UD sent out 24 samples to promote the Vice release.
I'm wondering if it's because I snagged a bunch of the sheer revolution lipsticks when they were on sale for $11 at ulta. This might explain who got samples and who doesn't? (One of my girlfriends suggested this, because I think she's bummed she hasn't gotten it despite being platinum at ulta).
Omg I want this!
I'm platinum and bought two sheers from Ulta this spring, plus the Gwen blush palette and a couple UD eyeliners.
They better send me one. If I don't get one today, I'm going to try calling customer service.

I do not need another palette. I'm not even doing looks this summer -- just a caviar stick with a top coat of shadow or an all over neutral and I'm on my way.
But the Gwen one is tempting, esp since Ulta gave me $10 off for my birthday.

I'm leaving my job soon, and I've just been NGAF about makeup lately. I do bb cream and my brows. Mascara is just too annoying right now. I've been toying with looking into lash tinting so I officially don't have to mess around with mascara.

I just ordered the bareMinerals Invisible Light Translucent Duo Powder, which I absolutely don't need. At all. But 20% off and free shipping will get me every time.

Quality is amazing or anything, but they applied great last night with a regular brush and a wet brush. I think they're great for the price. I love that you can tell a few of the colors in the Wild & Alluring palette are duochrome. Yay cheap makeup that's actually nice!!
Still no Vice sample from Ulta, I am sure it isn't coming now. I contacted Ulta customer service just now and they said it was completely random and they are all sold out already. She offered me a $15 egift card though. I will go buy something as close to $25 from Sephora to get the sample then use the credit at Ulta to cover the cost of most of one I want. Not a perfect solution, but not half bad.
I bought my first makeup item in 6 months last night. 6 months you guys, maybe longer. Absurd.
I need to buy more.
Ah young grasshopper, be patient, you'll catch up.

Oh no, it's not a matter of catching up! I've been platinum for a couple years. It was a matter of slowing down and using all stuff I acquired thanks to the huge post on CEP. ENABLERS!
I'm so happy with my Ipsy bag this month. The Fireball eyeshadow and blush are gorgeous and I love the brand Hey Honey so I'm excited to try another product from them. Anyone else get their bag yet?

Does anyone have Urban Decay Fireball eye shadow and MAC's Expensive Pink eye shadow? I know they aren't dupes, but I'm curious how similar they are in person.

Dip and powder update: This morning I've gotten some chips doing laundry. This Tuesday would have made three weeks. One chip is big. I'm going to try and remove it myself this afternoon.

I am wearing one of my Jem and the Holograms liquid lipsticks today, the bright pink one which I think is the signature one. I don't love this color on me. But that won't stop me from having all the fun with it.
A lot of liquid lipsticks are so, so matte, which I don't love, such as the WnW Varnish. (This also doesn't stop me from wearing those, either, lol)
Also, tge Walgreens near me had the WnW highlighters but not the color I wanted.
